THE SCHOOL OF MUSIC MflM MM it FROM early moruiiig until late at night through the open windows of the music halls comes a med- ley of sounds, contrasting from the shrill, high notes of the violin to the full, base chords of the piano. In such an environment the musically in dined student of the University of Iowa come, whether with professional or avocational interest, to act as un- derstudy to the muse, Calliope. There he may find training in musical theory, opportunity to expvvRSs his own art in voice, violin, piano, and ' cello, a nd practical instruction in conveying liis knowledge to others. For one glorious week-end in the spring, high school choruses, glee clubs, orchestras, and quartets, as guests of the School of Music, mingle in friendly competition. For the first time this summer, two groups of sec- ondary school students, one special- izing in orchestral music, one primar- ily interested in chorus work, came to spend a summer session in study :inil fun. The credits thus gained may be applied either to the completion of high school, or to freshman require ments when entrance is made to any PHILLIP GRKELEY Director CLAPP Iowa college. This unique movement was presided over by E. Stanley Tay- lor, from London, England, Claude Matson, Chicago tenor, and Mrs. Mil- dred Blantius Paddock, of the Uni- versity music staff. The school of music sponsors a great variety of extracuricular activi- ties for the development of musical talents of the students. The University singers, University orchestra, and both men ' s and wom- en ' s glee clubs all offer excellent training for those who are not mem- bers of the school in addition to those who are majoring in music and wish further instruction outside the class room. Each year the University singers of fer several special programs to the public and the University orchestra is prominent in Commencement day exercises as well as aiding at Univer- sity plays and putting on a spring concert. This last year the school of music was moved from its offices on Clin- ton street to the old dentistry build ing where it enjoys greater facilities than previously. Twenty nine

I THE SCHOOL OF JOURNALISM SIX YEARS of hurrying footsteps, shoe leather on cement, and now the top of each step leading into the Journalism Building has a smooth hollow in its center. In all the veins that Close Hall was used as the Y. M. C. A. Building, the steps were never worn down as they have been since the School of Journalism was estab- lished. Previous to 1924, journalism was taught only as a course in English, but in that year the School of Jour- nalism was instituted, and the school ami its printing laboratory were firm ly established in Close Hall. The School of Journalism attempts to train news writers who, having been disciplined in liberal arts, can comprehend more clearly the theory and practice of the profession. In addition to class work under ex- perienced newspaper men, practical experience is afforded the students by intensive work on the student publi- cations which include: Thf Daily lowan; The Hawkeye, annual year- book; The Transit, engineers ' publica- tion; Journal of Business, commerce magazine; Hawk Win fix, Iowa liter - FliAN ' K L. MOTT Director ary magazine; and Frivol, Iowa hu- morous magazine. A certificate from the School of Journalism is the Open, Sesame! to a position in any newspaper or magazine office. Each of these publications is edited and put out by a staff composed en- tirely of students. Work by the stu- dents may be either of an editorial nature, such as reporting for The lowan, feature writing for Hawk H ' infis, or humorous work on Frivol, or it may be on the business side where ads are sold and business con- ducted as in the commercial field. From this standpoint the courses offered by the Journalism school ar; some of the most practical in the Uni- versity. Several traditions of long standing have grown up in the journalism school which flavor the work of the school with play. Each year a Wayz- goose Banquet is fostered by the group as a whole in which the razz sheet lays bare all scandal among the would-be journalists. The Pica Ball is also a product of those would be editors. STANLEY H. WOODRING I.OLA MOELLER ARTHUR G. LENTZ Twenty-eight

THE SCHOOL OF NURSING IN THE spotless, white-bedded wards, in the commodiously equipped operating rooms of modern demonstration amphitheatres of three hospitals, student nurses pur- sue the education necessary to uphold that profession elevated by Florence Nightingale into a permanent and honorable occupation for women. The General, Children ' s, and Psychopathic Hospitals, in all eleven hundred beds, are the laboratories where these young women receive their training for ministry to a need as old as time. Because she learns to do by doing, the nurse, on her entrance into the training school, takes up immediately the duties of a nurse. After three years ' duty, she receives the hospital pin and is granted the certificate of Graduate Nurse. If she desires to combine her work with that of Liberal Arts, she may take preliminary courses for three years and specific nursing for two, .acquiring on gradu- ation the degrees of Bachelor of Sci- ence and Graduate Nurse. All nurses, on matriculation, undergo four months preliminary instruction. I.I. AMHK I . CORDER Director The university School of Nursing not only satisfies all state require- ments for registry but is recognized as one of the finest in the country. Conducted in connection with the Col- Irjjr iif Medicine, it was organized in 1S98, with an enrollment of seven. The present enrollment is above two hundred and fifty. Student nurses reside in Westlawn, a dormitory provided for their needs, and containing well-appointed rooms, library, and recreation rooms. Henry S. Houghton is Dean of the School of Nursing. John Thomas Me- Clintock is Junior Dean, and .lames Henwick (iuthrie. Dean Emeritus. The heads of departments number sev- enteen, and the entire staff totals eighty-six. The school of nursing has been constantly on the increase for the past few years and bids fair to con- tinue to do so in the future as a re- sult of the added necessity of student work in connection with the new hos- pital which has opened up new facili- ties of the most modern sort to all wishing to take this course.
